WUHUN: A team of experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) has arrived in a Chinese city to investigate the global epidemic of coronavirus.
Chinese media have confirmed the arrival of a team of experts in Wuhan, as well as a video, has been released. A statement issued by the Chinese National Health Commission a few days ago said that a team of WHO experts would work with Chinese scientists to investigate the origin of the coronavirus.
The team said its goal is to reach the root cause, not to blame China. The WHO team will spend a month there with two weeks of quarantine. The team also includes epidemiologists and veterinarians.
